Kawai Kanjiro is a master of Japanese folk art who has won worldwide acclaim for pioneering new frontiers in modern ceramics with his profound yet simple style that pursues "beauty of utility," winning the Grand Prize at the Milan International Exhibition. This work is a masterpiece that combines Kanjiro's outstanding beauty of form and eye-opening colors in the three colors of red, black, and green.

Kanjiro's daiyaku has a unique momentum and strength not found in his predecessors. He even wrote in his diary that he was "exhausted" on the day of the daiyaku. Why not experience the overwhelming worldview of Kanjiro Kawai, who pursued "beauty of utility" and elevated Japanese folk craft pottery to the world of art? Please enjoy his majestic style.
*There is sponge attached to the legs. This is to prevent wobbling, and it was exhibited and shown in the exhibition catalogue in that condition, so please rest assured.
